Visiting a new city or destination can be soothing for the soul. A great way to take in the local atmosphere is by biking. For this reason, biking vacations have become increasingly popular. The United States offers so many beautiful places to ride; it can be hard to choose where to start. Here is a list of some places on the west coast to bring your bike and get the most of your vacation.
Washington State, Black Diamond Coal Mines. Black Diamond is one of the coolest places in the American West and my favorite place in the Northwest. The Pacific Northwest is an incredible ecosystem in its own and riding the trails through Ravensdale Creek and Lake Sawyer is an incredible way to experience it. Outdoor vacations rule in the Northwest and if you are looking to take your bike you have to go to the coal mines.
Hagg Lake, Oregon. We haven't been back to Hagg Lake in a few years and I miss it. When you arrive you might think you accidentally ended up on a movie set, the beauty is amazing. The fifteen mile trail will give you a bit of a workout but isnt so tough that you won't be able to enjoy yourself at night. It is too hard for most kids and that is why we haven't been in a few years. We will definitely get back when the boys grow up a little bit.
California, Napa Valley. Into riding? Like great food? Enjoy wine? You absolutely have to go to Napa Valley. Some of the worlds most delicious wines are made right in Napa and Sonoma, in California. The rolling hills of the valleys provide an incredible back drop for daytime rides. Your evenings will be spent in some of Americas best restaurants. Its clich, but there truly is something for everyone in these heavenly valleys along the coast of California. These rides are not strenuous but you will be thankful because the evenings will be remembered for a lifetime.
Monterey, CA. Ranging from zero to 150 feet above sea level, 17-mile-drive is one of the beautiful rides in the entire country. Starting from Lovers Point in Pacific Grove (be sure to visit the monarch butterflies), the route follows the rugged shoreline on Oceanview Boulevard and Sunset Drive before turning into the gated community of 5,300-acre Pebble Beach.
Hawaii, Kona. I don't care if its not technically the west coast because Kona is a place that simply can not be missed. The juxtaposition of black lava rock and lush greenery makes you feel like you are riding your bike on some other beautiful planet. The bike trails are a great way to experience the landscape, up close and personal. If you do make it, I recommend saving at least one day to enjoy a message or go snorkeling. Kona is a place that even if you dont ride your bike, you will have an amazing time.
The Western States of the US offer some of the most beautiful coastline and lush landscapes. Truly a biker's paradise, the west coast has not only offers biking vacationers, but has found and increase in people who have chosen to make the west coast their home. - 22873
